Ok so this is not intended as flamebait or a troll or anything. But earlier I mentioned my site running on Drupal is basically falling down under it's own weight.
I have an extremely limited budget upfront. I'm open to completely dropping Drupal at this point and exploring other options. One of the options I'm looking at is KeystoneJs. It looks really nice, and I figure if I go with with it, I may as well go whole hog and move providers as well. Keystone requires nodejs & mongo. For obvious reasons I would greatly prefer to have a development environment and a production environment. Since Redshift offers 3 servers I can see myself setting it up as "development 1 box all inclusive", "production 2 boxes, 1 would be node and 1 would be mongo". I know we have someone from OpenShift on the list, so I figured I would ask if that is feasible. Also is there any way to spin up additional instances based on load similar to AWS's AutoScale feature. For the rest of the list, does structuring my environment this way make sense? Or would it be better to have the development box talking to the production DB? Also has anyone actually used OpenShift to power a site that experiences reasonably heavy loads? Thanks! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
